72. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams and contemporary novels with plenty of drama

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, Chelsey and Sara discuss a melodramatic classroom staple:</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">A Streetcar Named Desire</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by Tennessee Williams. We relive our classroom experiences, investigate</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">why</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">this play is still taught, and dig into the iconic characters made famous by Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh in the 1951 film adaptation. Plus, as always, we offer six contemporary pairings that capture similar themes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more bonus episodes, nerdy classes, and extra book talk,  join our</span> <strong>Classics Club</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">:</span> <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/novelpairings"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">patreon.com/novelpairings.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><strong>Connect with us</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">  on</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/novelpairingspod/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://twitter.com/NovelPairings"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span> <strong>Subscribe</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to</span> <a href= "https://novelpairings.substack.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">our weekly newsletter</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">to get updates and behind-the-scenes info.</span></p> <p><strong>Get two audiobooks for the price of one from Libro.fm</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span> <a href= "https://libro.fm/membership/new"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Use our Libro.fm affiliate code NOVELPAIRINGS</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and support independent bookstores.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Skip to the pairings: [43:50]</span></p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>
